Main results of the investigations of fullerene and its derivatives are briefly reviewed. Such topics as plasma spectroscopy, fullerenes and nanotubes formation, C60 carbyne knots, fullerene reduction and doping, charge transfer states and electroabsorption of C60, electrical conductivity, superconductivity, ESR properties, fullerene clathrates, C60/C70 complexes with organic donors, fullerene adducts, hydrogenated fullerenes, metallofullerenes and carbon nanotubes are discussed.
